Practical mental-health skills, online and on your schedule
Many mental-health training courses run around 12 hours and require face-to-face attendance. This course is built to deliver the same core skills in about 4 hours, 100% online — self-paced, mobile-friendly, and available Australia-wide. It’s also the option that gives you a direct pathway to a nationally accredited qualification, which short awareness sessions don’t offer.
What you’ll learn
- Understanding mental health and distress
- Crisis events and how people respond
- Recognising who needs support
- The five elements of psychosocial support — the core skill set
- Connecting people to help, including Australian crisis services
- Self-care and protecting your own wellbeing
- Workplace mental health — psychosocial hazards and the WHS duty
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants the confidence to support someone who’s struggling — individuals doing it for themselves, and workplaces and teams enrolling staff. Managers, frontline workers, HR and safety teams all benefit, and the workplace module is included for everyone.
